State news agencies are reporting on Putin’s new successes in world politics. He made a breakthrough and beat everyone again. One of the hotel guests shouted a greeting to him. Is this not world domination?

It seems like a joke, but the Putin government has such a plan. In the literal sense. Direct and indirect taxes on the poorest are constantly rising. The oligarch does not pay as much taxes in Russia as an ordinary hard worker. https://twitter.com/navalny

It would be nice for every citizen of the country to know the story about billionaire Rybolovlev and the city of Berezniki. There’s all the most important thing about the country and Putin’s regime. https://twitter.com/navalny

10-22-2011 Three systems theorists at Swiss Federal Institute of Tech at Zurich analyzed all 43,060 transnational corporations and share-ownerships linking them. They built a model having…a dominant core of 147 firms radiating out from the middle. Each of these 147 own interlocking stakes of one another and together they control 40% of the wealth in the network. A total of 737 control 80% of it all. The top 20 are at the bottom of the post. This is, say the paper's authors, the first map of the structure of global corporate control. …

There are many reasons for tightly controlled nodes and connections: anti-takeover

Dr. JG: 40 companies having the potential to control 40 percent of the network, in a network of 600,000 nodes--that's quite striking. The second thing that is important and that is coming up on the radar of regulators is this idea of systemic risk, where it's not about individual entities but about interconnection. The idea of 'too big to fail' is basically very naive, because these entities are embedded in a network of their dependencies.

What we found was a small core of powerful shareholders, or power players, in the network. If you look who's in that core, it's all these top players and they're highly interconnected with each other, so they all own shares in each other. This is something that shouldn't be there if you look at standard or classical economic theory. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/james-glattfelder
